He did initially mention that he will be sharing the email address but he shared one that wasn't actually linked to the account on CHDBits. He just created a new one at GMail. When I did figure out that the email address he provided was incorrect, and I reached out to him, he mentioned that the QQ email is his business email and he can't provide it. Which, honestly, was a load of BS.

Thank you so much for the link to Escrow - I'll go through it now

Hello, just want to bring to your attention that the user tibet230 is indeed a scammer, as someone had mentioned in the original thread (but their comment was no longer visible?)

I unfortunately do not have proof of the whole conversation as the guy deleted the conversation on telegram, something I did not know about at the time (first time using telegram). But I do have these:

So the thread in question is : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218839.0 - I was interested in buying a tracker account/invite. He asked for $10 (too good to be true), probably which was and should have been the alarming bell but I went ahead with it anyway. Best case scenario, I actually get the desired account. Worst case scenario, I get scammed but its just $10 at the end of the day anyway.

The guy did indeed give me a working account but said he didn't want to share the email address [one that the account is registered with, and which can be used to reset a lost pass]. For those unaware, on this particular tracker you can't change the registration email, like, ever. This was an absolute deal breaker for me, I needed both the account and the email. But I went into an argument with him and he was stupid enough to provide me with a BB account in addition [another tracker] to prove his innocence. So I did end up changing the email + password on the BB account and now he has my $10 but I have a BB account in return, which isn't too bad in all honesty. I've told him he can return me the $10 and I'll give him the BB account back, its not much of use to me at the moment. (you'll see it in one of the screenshots)

Details I have about the guy:

Just thought I should bring it out there. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should approach future transactions? This was my first time dealing with someone on BitcoinTalk but I'm lucky I got to do so with someone where I wasn't the only one who lost something.
